Question

(2) How is the period before the Christian Era referred to? Give your answer with examples​

Answer 1

B.C. or B.C.E.? Many people use the abbreviations B.C. and A.D. with a year (for example, A.D. 2012). B.C. refers to "Before Christ," and the initials, A.D., stand for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "In the year of our Lord." This system was devised by a monk in the year 525. A more recent system uses B.C.E.
